Help with printing and Word
 

Am after a word document thats already formatted so I can print 2 A5 documents and also another document formatted so i can print DL size 'leaflets' (ie 3 DL's on 1 A4 page).

I cant seem to get rid of the margins etc etc

Thanks

You won't be able to get rid of margins altogether in Word 'cos of printable area of the loaded printer driver. If you try and set the margins outside of this area you'll get a message to fix or ignore. Ignoring will set the margins on the page but you'll have problems when printing. Or are you sending the file elsewhere for printing.

Anyhow, to do a pair of A5s create a new landscape document and set the margins at 10mm all round. Then format|columns select 2 columns and set a gap of 20mm with equal spaced columns.

For DL do the same thing except set 3 columns with 20 mm gaps.

HTH (if I understood what you were asking:))

For A5 printing we have an option on the printer driver settings of the HP Laser simply entitled 'Booklet Printing' which takes a normal A4 layout and puts two pages of A5 side by side landscape on an A4 and collates in the correct order for binding (if that makes sense!)

I can email you over templates if you can't set up your own leaflets... as for printing, depends what printer you have as to whether you can't reach the edge of the page. I have the Epson photo one and it prints right to the edge

I have emailed the templates to you as requested... your PM box is full so couldn't reply there. If you want help with the layout mail your documents over to me at karen at thesoulgirl.com. I used to typeset brochures and stuff :D

LOL - and your email box is full too so mail was bounced back. Got an alternative email account?

Well I am sorry, but I am off to Amsterdam now.... will email you when I get back after weekend so clear out your box :)

Bu66er, anyone else got a template for A5 and DL ?
